Why all the branches? That seems to just add a lot of complexity as a result of trying to do this after converting to git.

Why not create the functional_hash module now, before converting to git? Then there are never two modules to keep in sync. I'd rather take on the entire burden of doing this, than put even a small portion of it on the modularization effort.

This way they won't to deal with a module splitting, and won't have to work out how to deal with header files moving from one module to another.

I don't think that is hard for the tool.

Chances are the functional_hash module's history would only go back to the creation of the module, which isn't what I'd want.

I don't see why it wouldn't go further back. Maybe your opinion is based on misunderstandings. Thanks, Steve.
